Miso Soup With Enoki Mushrooms Food

MISO SOUP WITH ENOKI MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a pot, combine the kombu and water to cover and bring to a boil. Remove the kelp and discard. Add the bonito flakes, stir well, and remove from the heat. Let the flakes settle to the bottom of the pot. Strain the stock through a fine sieve, discarding the bonito flakes. Return the stock to the pot and add the mushrooms.
• Cook over moderate heat for about 3 minutes, or until the mushrooms have softened. In a small bowl, stir together a ladle of stock with the miso and stir the mixture into soup. Divide the soup among 4 bowls and sprinkle with the reserved enoki and the scallions.

MISO SOUP WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a saucepan. Add the mushrooms, reduce heat to low, and simmer 4 minutes. Stir the miso paste and soy sauce together in a small bowl; add to the broth along with the tofu and continue cooking for 1 minute more. Pour the soup into bowls and top with the green onions to serve.

MUSHROOM MISO SOUP

Steps:

• Make the dashi: Put kombu, dried shiitakes, soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar in a large soup pot. Add 6 cups cold water. Place over medium heat, allow the liquid to barely reach a boil, then reduce heat to low and let cook at a very slow simmer for about 30 minutes. Skim foam as necessary. Let cool to room temperature. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and add salt to taste. (Dashi may be prepared up to 2 days in advance.)
• Put the sliced mushrooms in a bowl and drizzle with sesame oil and soy sauce. Add garlic and ginger and season with salt and pepper. Toss and let marinate for 10 minutes.
• Put dashi in a large soup pot over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Add mushroom mixture and cook gently for about 5 minutes, until the mushrooms are just tender.
• Remove 1/2 cup hot broth from pot and place in a small bowl. Stir in miso to dilute, then return miso-broth mixture to the pot. Taste and adjust seasoning. Once the miso has been added, do not let the soup boil.
• To serve, cut the tofu in half and place a 3-ounce chunk in each of two large bowls. Ladle 2 cups of hot soup over the tofu. Sprinkle with enoki mushroom tips, scallions, shiso, sunflower sprouts, nori, red pepper and toasted sesame seeds as desired.
